This is from a satellite to a UKIPT event. There are 3 packages to be won, worth £1195. Everyone has already locked up the 4th place prize of £200. The big stack in the big blind has already shown himself to be a competent player with a decent understanding of satellite bubble play. He has been putting a lot of pressure on the remainder of the table. We’re first to act.

I guess my first question is…does villain actually understand bubble play, or is he just bullying?
Because if I were in his shoes with that stack, I wouldn't be putting pressure on people, I would be sitting on my hands. With two-thirds of the chips in play, the only way he doesn't get a seat is by doing something really stupid. There's no point for him to be trying to accumilate anymore.
If he's just jamming every hand, just go ahead and fold at this point. If he's being reasonable, just minraise and play poker.

i think with being 3 packages the correct play is min raise fold, you only wanty to call it off vs the small stacks…did the #s a long time ago and i think you need QQ+ to call it off vs the big guy profitably

I think he does understand. He's minraising a lot when he's first to act which effectively puts the short stacks into an all-in or fold situation and makes it difficult for me to enter the pot. However, he's not been recklessly aggressive and has opted not to call when the short stacks have shoved into his BB on a couple of occasions.

My calling range against villain is AA only, and possibly not even that.
Honestly, he should recognize your open as very strong and just let you have it.

I'm pretty sure that even calling it off with aces is unprofitable here. Here's a few ICM figures:
Equity at start of hand: £1113 Equity if bet and win blinds and antes: £1125 (+12) Equity if minraise fold: £1108 (-5)
Equity if I double up through BB: £1167 (+54) Equity if somehow manage to get stacked: £0 (-1113)
Even if I get it in as an 80% favourite, if I win, my equity only increases by £54.
If I loose it decreases by £1113.
Average would be (0.8*54)-(0.2*1113) so I loose £177.8

I actually found it pretty interesting as I don't play satellites, so I hope that was just a bit of tongue-in-cheek? I think its a good post and a valuable discussion.
